It was far worse than that, from the darkest depths of mordor (ie. yawnion) IIRC.

Yes, Saracens 9th team or summat.

"...darkest depths of Mordor..." lifted from Led Zep's "Ramble on", or just coincidence?

Now if we could get THEM playing at Odsal...(although they might be a bit old to manage the steps now)

Mackay and Langley

I was tempted to go for Forshaw, but I just felt Langley has been a great servant over the years. For all his perceived shortcomings, he's stuck with us when he could no doubt has gone to pastures new like so many others did once the trophies dried up.

Mackay and Forshaw from me.

I feel sad not to put Langers in there 'cos he's been superb over a long period, but Brad was our best Loose by some distance (imo) and Mike was also truly outstanding in that position. I think Bateman and Addy have what it takes to be as good in the future and Burgess made some nice little cameo appearances but left too soon to be included as our best.

Beer is the root of all my problems, ironically it solves them too Homer Simpson that is:

I thought oblivion described yawnion, but I will bow to your superior knowledge. a014.gif

Mackay and Forshaw. Langley has been a great servant and loyal but the other two were more skilful.

I agree with tigs analysis of McNamara.

Quote: Bullseye "Mackay and Forshaw. Langley has been a great servant and loyal but the other two were more skilful. '"

You beat me to that observation & I think you are being somewhat kind in saying they were merely more skillfull than Langley
Other than the superb physical and tackling attributes required of a loose forward, they had a vision of the game going on around them and the handling skills and pace to dictate that game.
Criminal to decide who is in the team and who is on the bench, or even left out altogether.
Mackay just edges it for me

Since working in Donny you have become erudite & perceptive. Strange that.

McNamara and Mackay for me.

I like my loose forwards to have more of a creative bent, hence Macca (I would have thought Forshaw achieved a higher standard through his career). He'd have fitted into that dominant pack perfectly.

Don't think i'm biased... ...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28029.jpg



You have chosen Brad Mackay as the best Bulls loose forward ever.

Mike Forshaw got your nod for the runners up spot and will go to the subs vote.
